License the Ice Pirates!

Ice Pirates Licensing ad from a 1983 toy publication

This ad in a toy industry publication from June 1983 attempts to find licensees for the upcoming film “The Ice Pirates.”

Nobody bit, and thus, the world failed its only chance of having a “Bruce Vilanch” action figure. While I mock, it’s important to note I would have KILLED for a toy of the recycled car from the “Logan’s Run” TV series.
